Setting Cache Driver

[Gex2501]

In the documentation it mentions using database or redis for caching. But how do I specify my redis connection? I've found some mention in code about REDIS_HOST and REDIS_PASSWORD but has anyone actually set this up? I'd really like a way to confirm it's working.

Also, where are the logs kept? I've used the 'docker logs' command but there is very little info there after startup.

You can use any of the Laravel supported cache drivers, while database is the default you could also use Redis or Memcached: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/cache#configuration

Set the following vars so hook into your Redis instance:

# cache driver
CACHE_DRIVER: redis

# redis config
REDIS_HOST:http(s)://path-to-host
REDIS_PASSWORD:null # unless you have a password
REDIS_PORT:6379
